Evermore le Masquerade (D&D 5e): Session 24 {The Whispers That Chase Us}

King Emiliano XIII has ascended to the Gerdessi throne at the young age of sixteen, following the mysterious death of his father. Under the guidance of his advisors, chiefly that of Padre Primero Borjido, the adolescent monarch works to maintain the kingdom that his ancestors sculpted Gerdes into - a land of wealth and privilege.

Though Gerdes thrives peacefully upon the world stage, the success of many is built upon what happens behind the curtains.

In order to navigate the waters of Gerdessi society, one must strike a careful balance between debauchery and propriety. Assassination, thievery, slander, illicit business, and trysts are often committed at night by the same hands that conduct state affairs during the day.

This is simply how life is in Gerdes. To be Gerdessi is to always wear a mask.

One mysterious book bound in demon leather has proven bad enough, but two?! After interacting with the first nearly killed Guillaume, how will our heroes discover what dark secrets these tomes might hold?

And with the city of Manchalona rising ever closer down the road, will the pieces of Cimarron's past come back to haunt him? As they near the Castille Borjido, the party now must face the question of just how far the shadow of the vampiric Padre Primero stretches.
